Enslaved: Odyssey To The West managed to whip up a storm of high expectations with its unique visuals and exciting premise- and actually manages to deliver by and large. Quirky controls and some repetitive core gameplay is all but nullified by an immense wow factor and a cracking story that provides more jawdropping moments than entire seasons worth of games. It might well be a classic "once a year" title, but it's an intense ride that's definitely worth checking out.
